1What: video1394 (a.k.a. "OHCI-1394 Video support" for FireWire)
2Date: May 2010 (scheduled), finally removed in kernel v2.6.37
3Contact: linux1394-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
4Description:
5 /dev/video1394/* were character device files, one for each FireWire
6 controller, which were used for isochronous I/O. It was added as an
7 alternative to raw1394's isochronous I/O functionality which had
8 performance issues in its first generation. Any video1394 user had
9 to use raw1394 + libraw1394 too because video1394 did not provide
10 asynchronous I/O for device discovery and configuration.
11 Replaced by /dev/fw*, i.e. the <linux/firewire-cdev.h> ABI of
12 firewire-core.
